English

Intended purpose
The Lumbamed basic is a lumbar
support. The product is exclusively to be
used for the orthotic fitting of the lower
back and only on intact skin.
Areas of use
• Non-specific pain in the area of the
lumbar spine
• Wear-related pain in the area of the
lumbar spine
• Irritation of the sacro-iliac joint
• Excessive stress on the border
between the lumbar spine and the
pelvis
• Weak or imbalanced musculature in
the trunk (back or stomach)
• Loosening of the pubic symphysis
Side-Effects / Contraindications
There are no known side effects if the
correctly sized product is fitted as
recommended. If unexpected pain,
swelling or numbness occurs while
wearing the support, remove it and
seek medical advice. Particular care is
required where the following conditions
are present:
• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the
area of use, especially with
inflammatory symptoms (excessive
warming, swelling or reddening).
Any combination with other products
must be discussed in advance with the
responsible doctor.
Mode of Action/Comment on Wear
With the combination of the
compressive knitted fabric and the
integrated back rods, Lumbamed basic
stabilises the area of the lumbar spine
and the border to the pelvis, without
impairing muscular strength. The static
®
forces in the vertebral column are
improved and stress on the affected
segments is reduced. This alleviates
pain.
Supports cause the greatest effect
during physical exercise. In principal, the
support can be worn all day. However,
this depends on how comfortable the
support is to wear. The support should
be taken off for longer breaks
(e.g. sitting for a long time or a long car
drive, sleeping).
If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort
during wear, please take off the product
immediately and seek medical advice.
The support is suitable for use in water.
After use, please rinse out the product
thoroughly.
Putting on/Taking off
• First slip the left hand into the internal
wrist strap of the left seal side. Guide
the bandage round the body and then
slip the right hand into the external
hand strap of the right seal side
(Figs 1+ 2).
• Pull both sides of the seal in the middle
in such a way that they are attached to
each other by Velcro pads as evenly as
possible. The support is sitting
correctly when the lower edge of the
seal is lying just over the edge
(Figs 3 + 4)
Please always wear the Lumbamed basic
on the skin and under your clothing. This
maximises the Clima Comfort Effect.
Please take care that trained staff
instruct you when putting on the
support for the first time.
